New Hampshire Chronicle stopped by Photo Retro (www.photoretro.biz) last week and spent all morning interviewing owner Jason Lane and me about the shop, about analog photography and about making glass plate portraits.
We also shot an ambrotype portrait of the show's cameraman, Ryan Murphy.
They were with us for close to 4 hours and it was fantastic. I can't wait to see what the do with the segment and I can't wait to see when it airs to homes all over Southern NH.

I participated in the 33rd Foreign Artists Exhibition in Nagoya from 30th October until 4th November. This year I exhibited prints from four 19th century processes: calotype, cyanotype, kallitype and Van Dyke Brown. This is one of the Van Dyke brown prints.
In 1974, while still at school, I experimented with various techniques to produce “abstract” photographs. This example was created using Agfacontour, a technical film made to create equidensities. It has both negative and positive components, which, according to the exposure given produce black and white images of a given density. For example three separations could be made for each of the light, dark and intermediate tones.
This was a time consuming business, and the film was discontinued once it became possible to make separations digitally.
Having made the separations, I went on to add colour, giving each layer a different hue. I did this in two ways, first by making black and white negatives on lith film, and using the Tetenal toning chemicals to replace the black silver image with a dye layer, as in this example. Later I used 24 x 36mm images together with a slide duplicator and added different coloured light for each layer. This was done by keeping the shutter open and working in the dark.
This composite shows the original photo alongside the final Agfacontour result.

Dad was a fantastic gardener. But after he passed away and without his care, his flowers did poorly. One day while going through his "stuff", my mother found a hand-written note left by my Dad. The note provided detailed instructions on how to fertilize and care for his flowers.
I scanned Dad's note, printed it on clear acetate, and contact printed it over a large-format negative of a flower from his garden.
To wander around the nooks and crannies of Portugal is to be surrounded by little details like this. They fill the soul, they fill the hearts, even of those who have no heart.
